Halls of Destiny

My view from the front hall this morning when I came downstairs.

So yesterday I was juggling several things, including work, odds and end sewing bits, watching the last 15 minutes of Homeward Bound with Leon and visiting with a college friend stopping by, when the blood bank called.  Apparently they're very low on my blood type and they call all the time for me to donate.  I told them that every spare minute and then some is being spent on the wedding.  So they'll put off calling me until later this month.  I may have enough iron/energy built up by then.

So in lieu of me giving blood, I'm asking you.  GIVE blood people!!!  

I got in the mood to give blood when my mom had several transfusions many years ago and still do when my iron is high enough.  They want me to start giving plasma or something that is in my blood but takes two hours to get it out.  I'm not sure I have the time to do that...  at least not this month.

I pulled out our roasters this morning before work and gave them a good cleaning.  Yikes, our garage can get dusty!  Not sure how we're going to feed 250+ people for the reception, but it will happen.  We've got a plan and will stick to it.  If you're sitting at the last tables, I'm sorry.

I've also got 25 coffee carafes, 2 three gallon drink servers, 4 tubs (for ice and two rootbeer kegs)(need a few more for the bottles of water), 50+ pitchers for the lemonade, 6 new roasters for serving, (may need more)(two serving table stations), 2 old roasters for kitchen use only,  24 table runners so far (there will be 9 more finished today), 40 table cloths, wrapped silverware for 240 with enough silverware to be tied up in paper napkins for the rest later, 150 yards of tulle, 2 110 cup coffee urns and so... soooo... much more.  Lots of extension cords and power strips, 300 feet of Christmas rope lights, yikes....

the wedding hallway.  It's branched into the wedding diningroom and entry way also. 

I think "I" need more blood.  Or at least an energy drink...  But those do funky things to my heart.  

I'll stick with artificially sweetened, liquid caffeine.
